Ciānas godība
1 Koraha dēlu psalms . Dziesma.
Viņš lika tai pamatus uz svētajiem kalniem!
2 Kungs mīl Ciānas vārtus
vairāk par visiem Jēkaba mājokļiem.
3 Dižas lietas ir teiktas par tevi,
tu, Dieva pilsēta!
4 Man jāpiemin Lepnā un arī Bābele
to vidū, kas mani pazīst!
Redzi, Filistija, Tīra un Kūša –
gan šī, gan tā ir dzimusi tur!
5 Un teiks par Ciānu: gan šis te,
gan tas tur – dzimuši tajā!
Visuaugstais to pats ir dibinājis! –
6 Kungs atzīmē, kad skaita tautas:
gan šī, gan tā dzimusi tur! –
7 Dejodami tie dzied:
visi mani avoti – tevī!
In Praise of Jerusalem
1 The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;
2 more than any other place in Israel
he loves the city of Jerusalem.
3 Listen, city of God,
to the wonderful things he says about you:
4 “I will include Egypt and Babylonia
when I list the nations that obey me;
the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia
I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
5 Of Zion it will be said
that all nations belong there
and that the Almighty will make her strong.
6 The Lord will write a list of the peoples
and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem.
7 They dance and sing,
“In Zion is the source of all our blessings.”
